[00:22.73]We heard the fireworks
[00:25.02]Rushed out to watch the sky,
[00:27.67]Happend go lucky, fourth of July
[00:33.49]How can you live in the Northeast?
[00:36.10]How can you live in the South?
[00:38.81]How can you build on the banks of a river
[00:41.91]When the flood water pours from the mouth?
[00:44.64]How can you be a Christian?
[00:47.06]How can you be a Jew?
[00:50.24]How can you be a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Hindu?
[00:54.77]How can you?
[00:57.18]Weak as the winter sun, we enter life on earth.
[01:01.56]Names and religion comes just after date of birth.
[01:06.88]Then everybody gets a tongue to speak,
[01:09.40]And everyone hears an inner voice,
[01:12.30]A day at the end of the week to wonder and rejoice.
[01:18.34]If the answer is infinite light
[01:23.11]Why do we sleep in the dark?
[01:28.75]How can you live in the Northeast?
[01:31.92]How can you live in the South?
[01:34.67]How can you build on the banks of a river
[01:37.42]When the flood water pours from the mouth?
[01:40.19]How can you tattoo your body?
[01:42.75]Why do you cover your head?
[01:45.83]How can you eat from a rice bowl
[01:48.45]The holy man only breaks bread?
[02:02.77]We watched the fireworks 'till they were fireflies.
[02:07.98]Followed a path of stars over the endless skies.
[02:24.81]How can you live in the Northeast?
[02:27.71]How can you live in the South?
[02:30.19]How can you build on the banks of a river
[02:33.39]When the flood water pours from the mouth?
[03:03.75]I've been given all I wanted,
[03:07.89]Only three generations off the boat.
[03:14.55]I've harvested and I've planted.
[03:19.32]I'm wearing my father's old coat.
